Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 8 ounces ramen noodles (dried or fresh, without seasoning packet)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 small heads bok choy (chopped or halved)
- 1 medium carrots (thinly sliced or julienned)
- 2 stalks scallions (sliced)
- 8 ounces tofu (firm, cubed)
- 2 cups spinach (fresh)
- 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for serving)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the soy sauce, sriracha, and miso paste until the miso is completely dissolved into the broth.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, and carrots to the pot. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles in a separate pot according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Carefully add the cubed tofu and fresh spinach to the broth. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt.
To assemble, divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles.
Top each bowl with sliced scallions and, if desired, a drizzle of chili oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegetarian spicy ramen!
